There are no obvious contenders for this season’s League Two prizes. Last term, Milton Keynes Dons and Peterborough United established themselves as early candidates. This time the leadership appears to be organising itself on a time-share basis.

Wycombe Wanderers’ failure to score at home meant their tenure at the top lasted a week and they are third behind Bradford City and Bury. Brentford had been the architects of Dagenham & Redbridge’s fall from the summit and Andy Scott’s team remain in sixth place with this point.

Peter Taylor, the Wycombe manager, said: “Last year, MK Dons and Peterborough were always favourites. This year, all clubs have a chance.”

Scott said: “It is a wide-open league, There are eight or ten teams who could break away.”
